This seems like a big DFL deal. The DLCC has targeted hundreds of state legislative races around the country, but their top ten races for September include two MN DFL candidates: Kristy Janigo @kristyjanigomn.bsky.social and Brad Tabke @bradtabke.bsky.social @dfl.org

The crop art was great, but our favorite exhibit is the Fine Arts Building. Here are some of the pictures we liked. Of course, they will be more impressive when you see them in person. We did not take photos of the many sculptures, which were also impressive
At the Minnesota State Fair, this is the wait line for the crop art exhibit ten minutes before the doors opened
I discovered this list recently. I don't know who created it, but it looks like a great list to me.
Fox News: Look at this radical platform Everyone else: Looks great!

After all those months of me campaigning for Angie, it was so nice of Peggy to send me a personalized email to show there is no hard feelings😆
Michelle Tafoya thinks you date St. Paul and marry Minneapolis (I stole this one from Threads)
This chart, which I created, shows that, thanks to Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota is not a 50-50 purple. It is a 60-40 blue state. It also shows that Districts 1 and 8 are flippable in November.
I had no doubts that Angie would have been an excellent senator so I supported and donated to her campaign. I have no doubts that Peggy will be an excellent senator so I will support and donate to her campaign. See, that wasn't so hard.
We spent the day at Farmfest. governor debate: Klobuchar great, Dumeth good, Lindell unhinged, Qualls little farm knowledge. Senate debate. Craig great, Flanagan very good, Tafoya shallow, White most embarrassing performance ever
Heartland Signal@heartlandsignal.com · last mo."40% of America's farm workers are undocumented... We’ve got to give them a path to legal status." Minnesota U.S. Senate candidate Rep. Angie Craig (DFL) called for immigration reform at Farmfest, urging politicians to stop using immigrants as "a political wedge issue." #Farmfest
I was filled with pride when I woke up this Monday morning to read this headline: "Minneapolis Just Showed the Entire Country How to Take the Constitution Back." 😃 Then, I got mad that I woke up to read a headline like that. 😠 slate.com/news-and-pol...
Minneapolis Just Showed the Entire Country How to Take the Constitution Back
The surge made public safety a daily practice for many residents. None of it sounded like law in a traditional register.

Voting for Angie Craig is About More than Winning
Winning an election isn’t enough. Minnesota’s new senator must be able to work with Republicans to rein in President Trump during the next two, very dangerous years.

My comment for last week. June 18, 2026 may be remembered as the day that changed America. On that day, it was the best of America and the worst of America.

James Talarico: Ken Paxton is morally unfit for office. He’ll lie to you with a straight face. He’s failed the character test. He’s the most corrupt Attorney General of our lifetime. Those aren’t my words. Those are the words of Ken Paxton’s fellow Republicans.

I have parked at the Park N Go lot at the airport for decades. This week I noticed that they are flying the "Don't tread on me" flag, which people carried when they stormed the Capitol on Jan 6. I have created an account with Park N Fly lot and will use them in the future. You should do the same.
With Florence and the Machine at Target Center tonight, now is a good time for me to state publically that the ending of Gaurdians of the Galaxy Vol 3 is the best moving ending in the history of movies. Maybe Casablanca is better. Maybe. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HX43...
